Accomodation

Due to recomendations of the last years, we have arranged a contingent at the "Jugendherberge Düsseldorf" (Hostel). Although lying in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel on the other side of the Rhine, the hostel has a short and direct connection to the campus leaving in front of the hostel and is not far of the city's hotspots. The contingent is available until 08/31/2011. Participants who book the hostel are kindly asked to refer to the registration number 82664 to facilitate the allocation to the contingent.
